Gladiator (2000) | Ep. 12 - Part 2

Oliver Reed died partway through filming, and the solution to finishing his role was so technically bold it broke new ground. John, Westy, and Matt continue the story, picking up at the final confrontation.

We dig into the crew behind the film — the much-rewritten screenplay, Hans Zimmer and Lisa Gerrard's score, and the effects work that rebuilt Rome — before breaking down the finale, the Best Picture win, and the film's lasting legacy. Plus the hosts' final verdict and scores.

If you've missed the road to the arena — Scott, the cast, the first half — that's all Part 1.
